Now the United States use the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as a tool for weakening Russia's positions in the South Caucasus in order to knock it out of the region and strengthen its influence, Director at the Institute of Contemporary Economics, chairman of the presidium of the political council of the party Rodina, Nikita Isaev, said in an interview with a Vestnik Kavkaza correspondent, adding that Washington spreads anti-sargsyan moods in the Armenian society.
Above all, Nikita Isayev reminded that the US publicly declared that Armenia is the main place for the implementation of their policies in the Caucasus and the Middle East.
"For this reason, the statement by the United States that they do not interfere in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict due to presidential elections, the absorption of Europe through trade partnership missions in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, or due to the impossibility of losing gas corridors is a true bluff,'' he stressed, noting that the US embassy in Yerevan is still the second in the world in size and the number of employees.
"The embassy was initially focused on the fight against Iran, which was then the main enemy of the US in the Middle East.
Today 500 US diplomatic personnel continue to influence the entire map of the Middle East and the Caucasus. The interest of US, in addition to the economy, to remove Russia out of Armenia and Syria. Russia's presence in the South Caucasus is the 102nd base in Gyumri. It is reasonable for Washington to solve this matter, including possible hostilities with the location on its base in Armenia,’’ the expert told about US strategic interests in Armenia.
